1. Schedule Your Couple Portraits During Golden Hour

Golden hour — the hour before sunset — offers the most flattering, romantic light of the day. We always recommend reserving time for portraits during this window.
 📍 Top golden hour spots in Mississauga: Lakefront Promenade, Riverwood Conservancy, and Kariya Park.

2. Build a Thoughtful Photography Timeline

We’ll work with you (and your planner) to create a timeline that ensures nothing feels rushed. Be sure to include time for:

• Getting ready details
  
  
• First look (if you choose)
  
  
• Family formals
  
  
• Ceremony + reception coverage
  At Dhillon Photography, we help guide this planning to make your day seamless and stress-free.
  
  

3. Trust Your Photographer

You’ve hired professionals for a reason — now let us take the lead. Our team at Dhillon Photography has the experience and creative eye to capture every important moment while keeping things natural, relaxed, and true to you.

4. Consider a First Look

A first look gives you a private moment before the ceremony, resulting in genuine, emotional photos. Plus, it frees up time post-ceremony for enjoying your cocktail hour or mingling with guests.

5. Keep the Getting Ready Space Tidy

The space where you prepare sets the tone for your story. Keep it clean and clutter-free for stunning detail shots of your dress, accessories, and special moments with your wedding party.

6. Coordinate Wardrobe Choices

Classic, neutral, and coordinated tones always photograph best. This applies to the couple, wedding party, and even close family. Need help? Dhillon Photography provides pre-shoot style consultations upon request.

7. Incorporate Personal Details

Family heirlooms, custom vow books, or cultural traditions — let us know about the details that matter most to you. These meaningful elements help tell your story in a deeply personal way.

8. Assign a Family Photo Helper

To keep family portraits smooth and quick, assign a helper who knows both sides of the family. This small step saves time and keeps the energy light and organized.

9. Embrace the Candid Moments

Some of the most beautiful images come when you’re completely in the moment. Laugh, cry, dance — we’ll be there to capture it all, without interrupting the flow of your day.

10. Prepare for Any Weather

Mississauga weather can be unpredictable, but beautiful photos are possible rain or shine. We come prepared with clear umbrellas, creative location options, and the flexibility to adapt on the spot.
